In Person Therapists in Perkins, OK
I have had diverse experiences in many areas of therapy with clients of all ages. I recognize and celebrate individual differences of all kinds. I believe all of us are on a journey in life and that the job of the therapist is to assist in that journey of discovery, to partner with the client in the growth process.

Clients come into counseling for many reasons. Those who have not had the opportunity to attend counseling previously may feel anxious. "Here I am meeting a stranger to tell them my life." "I'm not sure what I'm supposed to say. Do I have to tell everything?" "I'm not sure why I feel so bad." "Why do these thoughts keep going around in my head?"

I use a collaborative approach in which we work together to establish goals, make a plan for treatment, and continue to partner together in the process of counseling. I ask you to be responsible for whatever content you want to talk about at any given time, and I focus on the way we discuss your concerns so that it helps to build a trusting relationship so you can express your true feelings, find solutions for dealing with stressors, learn more about yourself, and get symptom relief.

Hello! I am a candidate for licensure as a marriage and family therapist in the state of Oklahoma. I specialize in working with children and adolescents and their families, especially in the areas of parent-child conflict, behavioral challenges, developmental transitions, and difficulty adjusting to life changes. I believe that change is more effective, and problems solved, when the child and their parents/caregivers (and any other available/applicable members of the family system) are present and engaged in therapy. I also work with couples, especially those experiencing communication challenges.

Immediate Sessions Open! I believe every person has an authentic need to be known and loved. Navigating past traumatic experiences while rising to meet the demands of life often leaves us emotionally overwhelmed, anxious, and living in “survival mode.” When feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, ashamed, angry, or chronically unhappy is normal, it is time to make a change. Let's work together to navigate new life phases while gaining support in relationships, boundaries, communication, and daily life issues.

You probably woke up today and said that’s it, time to finally get my sh+t together….that Hogwarts letter ain’t coming! You are tired of your own bs and ready for real changes. Feeling like today is the same as yesterday! Laying in bed with your junk food, not wanting to get up, downing coffee and energy drinks like it’s an Olympic sport to have enough energy to make it through the day, and playing scenarios of what you would really like to say to your boss over and over in your head! Well, It's time to figure out how to manage that anxiety. YOU can make your own magic and take your life BACK!

Sometimes, when the unexpected happens our worlds seem to change. Making sense of what happened can be overwhelming and leave us feeling numb, angry, or fearful. We often resort to isolating ourselves and shutting the doors on things that previously brought us joy. Perhaps we feel on high alert with a constant need to monitor the safety of ourselves and our loved ones. We want peace of mind and relief, but it feels out of reach.

Life is hard but you don’t have to handle it alone. We were created to be in community with one another, helping and being helped. My goal is to help each client bear their burden and offer hope. I start with listening to their story and sorting through the issues. Once we find the common thread, we start reweaving their narrative to create the story they want and then proceed to use evidence-based therapies to help that story become a reality. I work with ages 14 and up. I have experience treating those suffering from anxiety, depression, grief and trauma.

You're probably doom-scrolling wide awake in the middle of the night wondering why things aren't getting any better. You are wondering if there's more to life than caffeine-filed marathons of true crime podcasts? You crave connection and excitement instead you feel alone. Imagine waking up and things feeling differently, feeling ready to conquer the day, not with a side of panic, but with a bad+ss attitude like “I’ve got this!” I’m here to help you turn that daydream into a reality. I'm here to help by helping you process attachment and how trauma from your past is affecting your present.

I’m guessing, those crap moments of life are getting the best of you. They bring chaos that can suck the life out of us and literally ruin some or all areas we have worked so hard to be successful in; relationships, career growth, raising amazing kids, or even the small things like keeping the kitchen clean, not being late to work, brushing our teeth like we have been told our entire lives. Being consistently overwhelmed can create anxiety or depression, which often turns into isolation and irritation; and we become our worst critics. As you try to do all the things to manage life, there is still no relief.
